    only what someone is willing to pay, most i've seen have bad decals, so with nice decals they're worth more, even more if the remaining condition is nice.........:)

    Nice scores..

    I have been following this for awhile and I am sad to say I only have a dual fuel. It's probably 15 yrs old (given to me by my father). But still looks and works well (just used it Sat night). :)

    i've been running unleaded gas in my plain old green ho hum 220's and 228's with no issues, but they do say that the generators wont last as long using unleaded fuel, same thing with the duel fuels...;)

    Yeah, I've done that too, I never had any problems with the regular gas. I didn't know that about the generators. Thanks! You have a very nice collection of Coleman stuff.

    got my "free-be" model "F" up and burn'n, this one took a little bit to get going again, old fuel is a pain to get out these Coleman's system, but with persistence it came to life, not bad for free............:thumbs: IMAG0210.JPG
